Bulbs keep blowing

The front headlight blew twice and the ammeter was showing a poor charging rate while riding the bike.

After looking at the wiring diagram it became clear that some of the links were broken inside the light switch.

Will check the wiring on the bike at the weekend paying particular attention to all the earth connections. It is obvious the stator and rotor are operating to spec as they producing sufficient power to blow headlamp bulbs with consummate ease. I suspect the accumulator is being intermittently disconnected from the charging circuit caused by a bad earth. Crude system by BSA to use the bulbs to regulate the circuit.
